Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I've  taken a hit or two
I've  given quite a few
I  swing  my fists  and the cities  all fall
I've  broken a law or two
I  reckon I only missed a few
I  watch  these long  days pass through  the bars I curse  the brass
I've  had a cracked rib or two
I  guess I've busted more
I've  laid a couple out on the coolin'  board
Sometimes  you walk  the line
And  sometimes it walks you
 You get quick  to anger
Quick  to put a knife up to another  man's throat
I  cannot still  the hell  that's in these hands
When  they came to take me in
I  didn't fight just let them win
Whoa  oh whoa  oh whoa  oh
A  man died in my cell
Damn  the guards sure gave me hell
Whoa  oh whoa  oh whoa  oh
I'd  love to see them horsemen ride
So  law and order stand aside
Whoa  oh whoa  oh whoa  oh
Oh  this woman and gin, woman and gin
Go  together like the devil and sin
Her  legs are like wheat her lips  are like wine
Gonna  meet her at the end of the county line
JAILBREAK
JAILBREAK
Tonight  bring on the floodlights
Boys!  (Yeah!) Fetch the shovel!
 Boys! (Yeah!) Post the lookout!
 Coppers! You'll never catch us! (That's right!)
 Ladies, we're coming home tonite!
Cause  in a few more yards we'll reach the line
And  meet up with  a friend  of mine
The  dogs are comin' swift and mean
But  I'm hungrier than they  have ever been
JAILBREAK
JAILBREAK
Tonight  bring on  the floodlights
